COMMITTEE RESOLUTION:

That pursuant to the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997, the Council refuse the application for alterations (external lighting) at Nos. 25 and 3941 Salamanca Place 7004 and the adjacent road reserve for the following reasons:

1 The proposal does not meet clause 22.4.5 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the 'buildings or works' do not complement or contribute to the cultural heritage significance, character and appearance of the heritage listed place and Salamanca Place, are individually prominent and the location, bulk and appearance will adversely affect the heritage values of a place of cultural significance.

2 The proposal does not meet clause 28.6 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the demolition results in an unacceptable impact on the cultural heritage values (fabric) of heritage listed places and Sullivans Cove.
